I am currently thinking about updating my CPU and MOBO but i am unsure of what to get, I have been to tomshardware.com and looked at their Gaming CPU Hierarchy Chart and am between two CPU's right now this and this.on the second one i can get it as a CPU/MOBO bundle whereas the first i would have to pay for the MOBO separately, any thoughts/advice would be appreciated

Hello panthertooth

What will be the main use of the computer be both now and in the future, the reason that I ask is because the average user will not even make use of the 4 cores on a quad CPU so the additional cash spent on a 6 core CPU could be deemed a waste of financial resources.
